It was as if... she was about to kiss him in the next second!
Riley's eyes flew wide open.
He might be a rich playboy, but he wasn't promiscuous.
In fact, he was a pure and innocent novice when it came to romance.
Being teased at such close range, his face instantly turned beet red.
He leaped back violently, putting distance between himself and Black Jack.
Then, like a damsel in distress, he threw his arms around himself, staring warily at her. "Don't you try anything! I may be heartbroken right now, but my heart belongs only to my goddess! My heart is hers, and my body is hers too!"
Black Jack burst out laughing.
The young men in Elyndor were just too cute.
"Riley!" Mr. Blackwood barked, frowning when he heard him still saying "goddess."
Serena had an engagement with Nicholas, after all. Though it wasn't official yet, having Riley call her 'goddess' over and over could lead to scandalous rumors about her character.
It would be bad for Serena's reputation.
Riley gave Serena a look as if he'd been struck by lightning, still not ready to give up. "Isn't Nicholas's fiancée that girl from the Lancaster family? The one who lost to my goddess... to her, in the piano competition?"
That Isabella girl was always putting on airs as his future sister-in-law and had even tricked him into calling her that many times.
Mr. Blackwood glanced at him, then gestured with his chin. "Just look at who's standing with Serena."
Riley looked over, bewildered. "It's Mr. Lancaster Sr., Mr. Lancaster, and Ms. Catherine... Catherine... huh?"
